Celebrating Earth’s ‘Birthday’
On This Day: October 23, 4004 BC

"The world is but a canvas to our imagination."
— Henry David Thoreau

James Ussher, an Archbishop from Ireland and a scholar of the Bible, declared that the Earth was created at 9 AM on October 23, 4004 BC. He used the Bible and genealogies to calculate the exact date, and many people in the 17th century believed it to be accurate. So, in a way, today is our planet's “birthday”! 🌍🎂 It’s fun to imagine how the world started with no people, no cities, no internet, nothing, just a brand new Earth. Ussher’s idea was so widely accepted that for a long time, people thought it was the truth. Even though modern science now estimates the Earth to be around 4.5 billion years old, Ussher’s date still holds an interesting place in history. Is today really Earth's birthday? Tell us how you'd celebrate! 🎂🌱
